JOIN THE BADGERS TODAY

Not sure if diving is for you? Give it a try.

Our practices run Sunday to Thursday. Email us and let's help you set up a free trial practice before you join us at info@wisconsindiveclub.com. Please come to your scheduled lesson prepared with swimsuit, towel, and a good attitude as we usually have a full pool deck.

So you are ready to start your first day with the Badgers of Wisconsin Dive Club. We hope you are ready. 

We are at the Soderholm Family Aquatic Center located in "the Nick" next to the Kohl Center at 797 West Dayton Street in Madison. The entrance you will use is located on the corner of Lake Street & West Dayton Street. Once you walk into the small lobby, head up the stairs to your left (next to the elevator) to the first set of doors on your right. Stay off the equipment until you meet your coach in the stands. Parents are not allowed on the pool deck nor are they allowed to coach from the stands. Once the lesson is over, please meet your diver in the lobby that you entered through.

Parking can be difficult. There are three pay garages within a two block radius. You may also wish to park on the street which is metered. If you are a university member with a parking pass, look for where your permit is acceptable to park. On UW basketball or hockey game days, please budget an extra 15 minutes to navigate the traffic.

Bring with you a suit (not sport shorts or cut-offs), a towel, sandals or slippers, a change of clothes, an open mind, a good attitude and a willingness to try new things. Bringing a friend with you is never a bad idea either.

There are four things that need to be paid to participate with WDC:

1) AAU Diving membership fee (see below).

Our mission is not measured by words but by action. Diving is an inclusive sport that can bridge multiple paths of life. In an effort to achieve our goal of introducing the sport of diving to every child in Dane County, Wisconsin Dive Club offers diving opportunities to any potential diver whose family receives government assistance (Medicaid, Free/Reduced, food stamps, Head Start, WIC, etc.).

The diver must provide documentation of government assistance in order to qualify for this incredible opportunity. The diver must purchase the current AAU Diving Athlete EB Membership ($22) and pay 10% of the training fees. Wisconsin Dive Club will waive the remaining 90%.

Please contact Program Director Yahya Radman if interested or for more information.
